## Bass Fretboard Addict Reviews in United States

### *---- "Good Concept But…."
In app purchase did NOT unlock the chord feature
-- JJ Flinn, 2021-06-17

### ****- "Very Good!"
Very very helpful!  The best app of its kind that I can find thus far.  My only negative issue is the view of the neck vertically, the guitar is not viewed from that angle when actually playing, so please please please change the view to horizontal on the app...please?
-- DimFifth, 2019-01-15

### **--- "More in app purchases"
Paid for the app on whim. Not finding it very helpful so far. Then using it I find that not all features are included. 

I probably could have gotten away for less with flash cards.
-- M19S80, 2017-05-11

### ***** "It's great!!!"
It's what people need and more......
-- Lutalobass, 2016-08-25

### *---- "Fretboard Images Wrong For Left-Handers!!!"
Fretboard Images Wrong For Left-Handers!!!

Ridiculous.
-- LeftOutAgain, 2016-05-08

### ****- "Got charged twice"
Tried to purchase pro version from in app, bit it didn't seem to work and froze. So I went to the App Store and bought it. However, there were then 2 barges on my credit card and the in app purchase isn't available for refund.
-- Ancoanco, 2013-12-31

### *---- "DOESN'T WORK"
Sound and other functions don't work.  Contacted support 3 times with no response.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!
This is a great idea- if it worked.
-- Never heard back, 2013-11-16

### ***** "Great learning tool"
I love this app, it's really helped me learn the upper frets of the upper strings, which I just always knew by association to the lower frets.  Also, it's helped me learn the bass clef, since I learned to read music for flute, I had only learned to read G clef. 
The one thing I hope the app developer changes is the perspective of looking down the neck.  It would be so much more useful and applicable for a guitar/bass player if the neck went side to side, like you would actually see it when you're playing. Who ever looks down the neck?  It's an irrelevant point of view, and it requires my brain to translate an extra step. Other than that, this app is the bomb!
-- Sibbyfresh, 2013-09-29

### ***** "Love it"
Love this app. It helps me a lot.
-- One shoewilley, 2013-07-19

### ***-- "Good but..."
I like this app but it freezes up too much. Can we get a fix?
-- ChrisFreeMusic, 2012-11-20
